Movements of the Earth_3

In the​ (a)   of the vast number of stars and galaxies, there is a tiny ​ (b)   . It is our home the planet ​ (c)   . The Earth is the ​ (d)   from the sun.

And for now, the only known ​ (a)   .

The earth rotates on its ​ (b)   that is why we see day

​ (c)   . This axis is tilted and

is always pointed in one direction

• place that has life
• axis
• change to night
• towards polaris.

Because of this tilt, the earth positions ​ (a)   toward the sun differently in each ​ (b)   . When solar rays ​ (c)   , it gets hotter and ​ (d)   comes. If the rays ​ (e)   , the heat is lower and winter comes.

• fall straight
• summer
• fall at an angle

Significant areas of ​ (a)   are

covered with ​ (b)   (Almost ​ (c)   )

The largest of them is the ​ (d)   ocean

and it is bigger than all the ​ (e)  

• our planet
• oceans
• 71%
• pacific
• continents combined

The earth is​ (a)   by millions of species under water on the ​ (b)   and in the ​ (c)   and they're all connected with each other.

Our home is a ​ (d)   and we should treat it very carefully.

The sun is at the center of the ​ (a)   .

Earth is in ​ (b)   around the sun.

Earth orbits the sun and ​ (c)   n every 365 days, which is one​ (d)

• completes one full revolutio
• Earth year.

Earth is also spinning on an ​ (a)  

The axis is like an​ (b)   that goes through the center of the planet from the ​ (c)   to the South Pole.

If you were in space looking down at the North Pole, Earth would be seen to spin ​ (d)   .

• North Pole
• counterclockwise

This spin is called​ (a)   . One full rotation is ​ (b)   . One day on Earth is ​ (c)   . It is nighttime when you're on the side of Earth facing away ​ (d)   and daytime when you're on the side facing ​ (e)   .

• one day
• 24 hours

• towards the sun

You'll notice that I placed the axis of the Earth on ​ (a)   . This is not a mistake.

It's an important detail. Earth's axis is not ​ (b)   .

As Earth revolves around the sun each year, the ​ (c)   creates the ​ (d)   .

• an angle
• perpendicular to the sun
• planets' tilt
• seasons

When the northern hemisphere is ​ (a)   the sun, it experiences ​ (b)   .

This is because more energy from the sun is hitting ​ (c)   .

When it's summer in the ​ (d)   , it's ​ (e)   in the southern hemisphere.
